But a huge thanks again for all your votes - while we run these awards each year, we never forget it’s you, the great gaming public who make them so special. That’s why a Golden Joystick is considered to be the ultimate prize by both developers and publishers, because they’re voted for by the only people who truly matter, gamers themselves.

Now celebrating over a quarter of a century of success, the Golden Joysticks together with Virgin Media, truly are the people’s gaming awards and it’s you, the gamers, that make them so!

Make sure you stay tuned for when the Golden Joysticks return in 2009!
